Biomedical Science with a Foundation Year BSc (Hons)

Biomedical Science is about understanding how the human body works and what happens when things go wrong. This course explores the science behind diagnosing and treating disease, with a focus on real-world application and modern research. 

You’ll be taught by active researchers, including NHS staff and biomedical science practitioners. From the start, you’ll gain practical lab experience, and in your final year, you’ll have a whole term dedicated to your own research project – a rare opportunity to focus and build skills that prepare you for work or further study. 

The course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science and the Royal Society of Biology, while our four-year Biomedical Science with a Year in Professional Practice course has Advanced Accreditation. Whether you're aiming for a career in the NHS, research, pharmaceuticals or graduate medicine, this course gives you the knowledge, lab skills and confidence to make it happen.
